Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations amend the Income Support (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 and the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 so as to provide with respect to a claimant for income support for his entitlement to that benefit for the period from and including the date of his claim for asylum, or 5th February 1996 if that is later, up to the date of his being recorded by the Secretary of State as a refugee within the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees done at Geneva on 28th July 1951 (Cmnd. 9171).
Regulation 4 makes a consequential revocation.
These Regulations are made before the end of a period of 6 months from the commencement of section 11 of the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996 (c. 49), one of the enabling provisions under which they are made. Accordingly, they are exempt, by virtue of section 150(5)(b) of the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 (c. 8) from reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee.
